TRT(SH:600085) Di Yi Cai Jing·2025-12-07 08:46Core Viewpoint - There is a growing concern among consumers regarding counterfeit products of the traditional Chinese medicine brand "Beijing Tongrentang," particularly those lacking the "Double Dragon Mark" [3][5]. Group 1: Brand and Trademark Issues - Multiple trademarks related to "Beijing Tongrentang" exist, including those owned by subsidiaries like Beijing Tongrentang Xingan Health and Beijing Tongrentang (Sichuan) Pharmaceutical [3][5]. - The parent company, Tongrentang Group, has publicly stated that it has never authorized its subsidiaries to use the "Tongrentang" trademark for external promotional activities, indicating that any such actions are unauthorized and infringe on its trademark rights [5]. - Products offered by these subsidiaries primarily include health drinks that claim to be "medicinal and edible," such as "Jasmine Flower Chenpi Fuling Dingxiang Tea" and "Lipid-lowering Tea" [5]. Group 2: Legal and Consumer Implications - Legal experts suggest that the use of trademarks by subsidiaries, even if they claim to use different names, still constitutes a form of trademark use that could mislead consumers [5][6]. - If products using the "Inner Court Use" or "Zhenhuang" trademarks encounter quality or false advertising issues, the parent company, Beijing Tongrentang, may bear some responsibility [6]. - The situation highlights a conflict between maintaining brand integrity and the financial interests of the parent and subsidiary companies, with potential repercussions if quality issues arise [6].
